Gu Zhixin was a Third Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator while the others were Second Order. If they joined forces, the combat strength they could display wasn’t weak, so who could instantly kill them?
Fourth Order Open Heaven Stage couldn’t achieve such a feat, it was definitely a Fifth Order or above!
“Could it be that Zhao Baichuan personally took action?” The burly man surnamed Guan’s expression became extremely solemn.
It was only natural for him to have such thoughts. Guo Ziyan was a member of Scarlet Star while Zhao Baichuan was the Chief Manager of Scarlet Star, so it would make sense if he stood up for Guo Ziyan.
Yun Xinghua slowly stood up, “No matter who it is that killed Elder Gu and the others, my Blood Goose Continent will most likely face a great calamity. A moment of carelessness will result in eternal damnation. I hope that everyone can work together with me to deal with this calamity.”
Someone stepped forward and asked, “Boss, do you mean that after killing Elder Gu and the others, they will come to Blood Goose Continent to stir up trouble?”
Yun Xinghua nodded, “That’s a possibility.”
The man said, “Even if the one who attacked was really Zhao Baichuan, this person is a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage master. No one in my Blood Goose Continent is his opponent, but if he wants to attack this place, it won’t be easy.”
Yun Xinghua said, “If it was just Zhao Baichuan alone, my Blood Goose Continent naturally wouldn’t fear him. Relying on the Great Protection Array, even if he had a cultivation of Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage, what could he do to my Blood Goose Continent? It’s just that it’s not like you don’t know about Scarlet Star’s situation, just the number of Mid Rank Open Heaven alone is quite high. I don’t even know where he hid for the past decade or so, but now that he has reappeared, I’m afraid his strength is extraordinary.”
The weak-looking scholar from before said, “If that’s the case, my Blood Goose Continent will not be able to resist. Chief, I suggest we ask Startled Goose Pavilion for help! This Startled Goose Territory is Startled Goose Pavilion’s territory, and my Blood Goose Continent is also under the command of Startled Goose Pavilion, so it’s not Scarlet Star’s place to act wildly.”
A complicated look appeared on Yun Xinghua’s face as he slowly shook his head, “I’m afraid it’s too late. If someone really wants to make things difficult for my Blood Goose Continent, they’ll appear in a day or two. Even if we go to Startled Goose Pavilion to ask for help, we won’t be able to make it in time. Not to mention, Startled Goose Pavilion… may not be willing to help.”
When everyone heard this, their expressions became solemn.
Back then, Yun Xinghua had been suppressed by Startled Goose Pavilion and was forced to break through to the Third Order Open Heaven Stage. Now, after several decades of bitter cultivation, he had once again obtained the strength of a Fourth Order master. Startled Goose Pavilion was probably unwilling to see this happen, so if he really asked for help from Startled Goose Pavilion, who knows what kind of price he would have to pay, perhaps they would take the opportunity to make some harsh conditions.
“There’s no need to bring up the matter of requesting assistance again. For the time being, I hope everyone can be on high alert. If there’s any disturbance outside, report immediately!”
“Yes!” Everyone nodded and scattered.
After everyone left, Yun Xinghua gritted his teeth and slammed his fist on the armrest of his chair, cursing, “Gu Zhixin, this bastard, he’s ruining my plans!”
[Hoogs: pft, if the enemy is not strong, you won't even feel it's wrong.]
He had been suppressed and had no choice but to advance to the Third Order. Now that he had obtained the strength of a Fourth Order, he was able to reach the Fifth Order. With his aptitude, as long as he had enough resources, it shouldn’t be difficult for him to break through to the Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage within two hundred years.
At that time, it would probably be the time when Startled Goose Pavilion’s Pavilion Master be at the end of his life. Besides that old bastard, no one else in Startled Goose Pavilion would be worthy of his attention. At that time, with his Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage, no one in the entire Startled Goose Territory would be a match for him. Unifying the Startled Goose Territory and allowing Blood Goose Continent to surpass Startled Goose Pavilion would not be difficult.
This was the only way he could take revenge for being suppressed back then!
However, his beautiful dream had only just begun when he encountered such an unforeseen event. The unknown enemy had been able to kill four Low Rank Open Heaven masters in an instant, so he knew he was no match for them. Even if Blood Goose Continent had the support of a great array, he might not be able to stop them.
As for where he should go in the future, he was somewhat at a loss!
With a gloomy look on his face, he pondered for a moment but couldn’t come up with any countermeasures. He could only hope that the enemy’s strength wasn’t that great and that he would be able to retreat.
However, this expectation was shattered in just a day.
Accompanied by a loud bang, the entire Blood Goose Continent seemed to be shaking non-stop. Violent energy fluctuations filled the air as the Blood Goose Continent was thrown into chaos. Some of the weaker disciples even began bleeding from their mouths and noses, some even falling unconscious.
Yun Xinghua flashed out of his cultivation room and looked up to see a giant lotus flower outside the Blood Goose Continent Array.
The lotus flower slowly rotated, each petal exquisite to the extreme, like a beautiful piece of art, but Yun Xinghua could feel a shocking power from it.
This was definitely a treasure that could only be forged by Second Class forces, and it was something that only Second Class forces with powerful foundations could possessed.
Startled Goose Pavilion had a similar artifact, and their Startled Goose Stage had cost them countless resources.
In an instant, Yun Xinghua’s mouth was filled with bitterness.
At this moment, the Blood Goose Continent’s Great Protection Array had been activated, and a transparent light curtain covered the entire Blood Goose Continent. At one point of this light curtain, a deep pit was slowly recovering.
The corner of Yun Xinghua’s eyes twitched as he realized that this crater was definitely caused by the lotus flower.
What kind of background did the person inside this lotus flower have to be able to use such a precious artifact to impact the Blood Goose Continent’s Great Protection Array? Was he crazy? Although this kind of artifact was powerful, it was extremely expensive. Once it was damaged, repairing it wouldn’t be easy. Therefore, no matter which force possessed such a treasure, under normal circumstances they would be extremely protective of it and wouldn’t allow it to be damaged easily, but this person had actually used the lotus flower to directly smash into the Great Array.
How violent and inhumane was this?
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly saw the lotus flower slowly retreat a few hundred kilometers before transforming into a streak of light and rushing towards the Blood Goose Continent.
Yun Xinghua’s eyes bulged as a chill rushed up from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. Without hesitation, he summoned the Formation Jade and poured all of his strength into it, madly activating the power of the protective array.
The World Energy in the entire Blood Goose Continent seemed to be sucked dry at this moment as it poured into the Great Array to strengthen it.
The transparent light curtain rapidly condensed, as if it had become several layers thicker.
Just as he finished doing this, the lotus flower crashed into the light curtain of the Great Array Formation, causing it to cave in. The giant lotus flower was like an indestructible sword, piercing towards Blood Goose Continent's vitals, as if it wanted to smash them to pieces.
With a loud bang, the Blood Goose Continent shook violently, and behind Yun Xinghua’s back, the image of a small universe world flashed and the World Force crashed.
The might of the Great Array did not disappoint. The thick light curtain was like a flexible ball that bounced the lotus flower back, but the place where it had sunk was unable to recover for a long time.
Yun Xinghua let out a muffled groan and took three steps back, blood dripping from his mouth and nose, his face slightly pale.
He controlled the Blood Goose Continent's Great Array and connected his consciousness to the entire Blood Goose Continent. Blood Goose Continent was shaken and even he suffered a backlash.
“Chief!” One figure after another rushed over and stood next to him, all of them staring outside in horror.
Yun Xinghua suppressed the roiling blood in his heart and shouted, “Who is it? Please stop! Let’s talk things out!” He had placed all his hopes on the Protective Formation, but now it seemed that his hopes had been broken. Although the Protective Formation could not be broken, he was unable to withstand it. This kind of impact did not need to be repeated too many times. As long as it was three or five more times, he would definitely suffer heavy injuries and the Protective Formation would collapse.
The giant lotus flower didn’t respond, instead slowly increasing the distance between them by several hundred kilometers before continuing its assault.
Boom…
A loud bang shook the sky as countless Blood Goose Continent disciples collapsed to the ground. Even the Low Rank Open Heaven seemed to be unable to withstand this impact and all of them staggered, their expressions ugly.
As for Yun Xinghua, who was in charge of the protective array, he spat out a mouthful of blood as his aura suddenly weakened.
However, even after three collisions, the Blood Goose Continent’s Protective Formation had not been broken. This was the power of this Great Array. Although Blood Goose Continent was only a third class force, with the power of this Great Array, it was still able to resist an enemy stronger than itself.
On the other hand, after three collisions, the giant lotus flower seemed to have lost some of its luster and seemed to have suffered some damage.
From within the lotus flower, a delicate woman’s voice rang out, “Little Guo Miao, Young Master has helped you vent your anger. If you don’t feel satisfied, then continue to smash this tortoise shell and crush this Blood Goose Continent.”
Inside Blood Goose Continent, many Open Heaven Stage masters almost vomited blood when they heard this.
Such a violent and deranged method was only meant to help Guo Miao vent her anger? What kind of madman was hiding inside that lotus flower?
Just as they were trembling with fear, another woman’s voice rang out, “Thank you, Sir. Disciple only wishes for Father to be safe and sound.”
The man surnamed Guan whispered to Yun Xinghua, “It’s Guo Miao’s voice.”
Guo Miao had lived in Blood Goose Continent for many years, so the man surnamed Guan recognized her and naturally recognized her voice.
Yun Xinghua nodded solemnly. Although he had long guessed that the murderer who had killed Gu Zhixin and the others wouldn’t let this matter rest, he hadn’t expected them to appear so quickly outside the Blood Goose Continent.
Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the anger in his heart and cupped his fists, “Blood Goose Continent’s Yun Xinghua greets respected guest, may I ask for the respected guest's name, may I have your audience?”
The floating lotus flower slowly rotated and from the gap between the two petals, a door appeared, followed by two people.
A handsome young man with his hands behind his back, with an indifferent expression on his face, and a charming woman with beautiful eyes.
Yun Xinghua’s eyes narrowed slightly, because among the two people who had appeared, the woman’s body was filled with a terrifying aura that he had only ever felt from the old pavilion master of Startled Goose Pavilion.
“Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage!” The man surnamed Guan shouted, his expression becoming extremely ugly.
The other Open Heaven Stage masters also felt their hearts sink, their expressions becoming solemn as they swallowed hard.
How could it be a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage? This time, Blood Goose Continent had probably kicked an iron plate!
